NY Times Best Selling Author Fiona Davis Hosted by The Osborn
After a three year COVID-related hiatus, The Osborn held is first WellSpring event of the fall season featuring a lecture by New York Times best-selling author, Fiona Davis. Ms. Davis addressed the near capacity crowd in The Osborn’s newly refurbished art deco style auditorium.
Davis provided insight into her latest book entitled The Spectacular, a novel that transports readers back to 1950s Manhattan and glamorous Radio City Music Hall. It centers on a talented young Rockette and a mysterious bomber terrorizing New York City. Davis, who has lived in New York City for more than 35 years, discussed how she conducted research for the book and her many persona experiences about living there.
Davis’s other works include: The Lions of Fifth Avenue, The Address, The Dollhouse, The Masterpiece and Chelsea Girls – all centering on life in New York city in a bygone era. Some focus on specific New York landmarks such as The Dakota, Fifth Avenue and The Theater District. The free, open to the public event was sponsored by The Osborn through its WellSpring program and attended by about 80 people.
